Sensory processing Support at The OT Place — Across WA
The OT Place in Across WA lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for sensory processing.
Services The OT Place offers for sensory processing
The OT Place supports children with sensory processing difficulties through targeted interventions addressing how their nervous system responds to everyday sensations. Our sensory processing service helps children who struggle with sounds, textures, movement, or touch by creating personalised strategies and environmental modifications. For example, we might use sensory swings or weighted blankets to help children regulate their responses, or introduce graded exposure activities to build tolerance gradually. Our fine motor service complements this work, as many children with sensory processing challenges also experience coordination difficulties—activities like threading, scissor work, and hand strengthening exercises develop the motor skills needed for daily tasks whilst providing sensory input. The OT Place tailors each programme to your child's unique sensory profile, whether they're seeking more sensory input or finding everyday sensations overwhelming. If you're accessing NDIS funding in 2025-26, occupational therapy services may be covered under your plan. We recommend discussing your child's specific needs with our team, as occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder but can assess functional difficulties and recommend evidence-based strategies to support participation at home, school, and in the community.

About sensory processing
Sensory Processing Disorder is the term often used by families and clinicians to describe difficulties with how a child's brain interprets and responds to sensory information. This can affect how a child manages sound, touch, movement, sights, smells, tastes, and body awareness.

Common questions
Can an occupational therapist diagnose sensory processing disorder?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder. However, we can assess how sensory sensitivities affect your child's daily functioning—such as eating, dressing, or playing—and recommend practical strategies to help. If you're concerned about diagnosis, your GP can refer you to a paediatrician or psychologist for formal assessment.
How does The OT Place know which sensory activities will help my child?
We begin with a detailed assessment, observing how your child responds to different sensations and environments. We ask about their preferences, challenges, and daily routines. This information guides us in selecting activities—like sensory swings, textured play, or movement games—that match your child's specific needs and goals.
Will NDIS funding cover sensory processing support at The OT Place?
Occupational therapy services may be funded through NDIS in 2025-26, depending on your child's plan and goals. We recommend checking your plan details or contacting your NDIS planner. Our team can discuss funding options and help you understand what services might be covered for your child's needs.
